Yeah, Mrs. Desai, Tell me?

You were supposed to call us

when you plan on missing classes.

There were students waiting for you.

I am sorry.

I'm not keeping well, you know.

Anyway, the Dean wants to see you.

The Dean?

Yes. Can you come in today?

Why he wants to see me?

I don't know.

Is it about me missing the classes?

It might be?

What is that supposed to mean?

It means that if I was the Dean, and I wanted to see you

that's what it would be about.

What kind of bull crap is that?

There is no need to get hyper, Mr. Sharma.

Am I being fired?

Is that it?

Look, I don't know!

The Dean said he wanted to see you.

But I can't see him!

Personal problems? - Yes!

Yes, personal problems.

That's too bad.

Yeah, it's too bad.

You know, Mrs. Desai, I know what you're trying to do.

Really? - Yes.

Why don't you tell the Dean to go screw himself?

Mr. Sharma! - Yes.

And Mrs. Desai, you go screw yourself too!

Does this mean that you won't be coming?

Mr. Sharma? - Yes.

My name is Dr. Abhay Kumar.

I am from Human Support Services.

I am not interested.

Inspector R. Negi asked me to see you.

You're hurt?

Yes.

I am fine now. Thanks. - I am not a physician.

I am a psychiatrist.

But I am not here on business.

It's my off-time.

I didn't understand.

See Human Support Services is a voluntary organization.

We provide assistance to

to victims of traumatic crimes.

What kind of assistance?

Advice! Help!

A shoulder to cry on!

Why would I cry on your shoulder?

You might feel like talking to someone.

You see, when your beloved separates from you

then this world feels lonely.

Thank you very much. But I don't think like that.

Fine, fine, you have my card.

If you feel like talking to me anytime

feel free to call.

Dr. Kumar!

Actually, you can help me.

I can't sleep.

It's quite common in these conditions.

Can you give me something?

You mean a prescription?

You're a doctor, aren't you? - Of course.

I can't find anything strong enough.

Maybe you're restless.

I can't sleep that's why I am restless.

Or maybe you are restless that's why you can't sleep.

Oh!

I don't know.

How long you have this problem?

It's been quite a long now.

One week?

Maybe more than that.

I don't know.

You must have slept a little?

Yes?

No!

Maybe.

But it gave me no relief.

Or maybe I am getting no time to rest.

I often think too much

I have to stop thinking.

Otherwise

I can even go mad.

I see

May I come inside?

Why don't you come in?

Come in.

This often happens

when day-to-day stress becomes too heavy.

As a doctor, I often notice these things in my patients.

Can you help me?

Like I said

I am not here on professional basis.

But let me tell you that you going sleepless

or being an insomniac

is all about your mental condition.

Anybody can have insomnia.

But generally the elderly are particularly at a risk for it.

In your case

chances are that you're suffering from

Advanced Sleep Phase Syndrome.

What happens is that the light signals

travels through a tiny cluster of nerves

in the hypothalamus

in center of the brain.

The body's master clock

which is called

Suprachiasmatic Nucleus.

Now this tiny cluster

takes its name

from its location

which is.. - Can you just help me?

Yes, why not?

Look..

The chances of solving this problem with medication

is very slim.

But for now, I'll give you something to help you sleep.

This will help stabilize your internal clock

by chemically suppressing certain Amino Acids.

Will it help me sleep?

Hundred percent.

Two pills at night.

And yes

not more than 6 pills in a day.

I'm glad I could help you.

I'll leave now.

I'll check on you again tomorrow afternoon.

Why tomorrow?

I must see how you're feeling.

Look.. - Look

I understand your condition better than you.

And I hope things get better.

Okay see you tomorrow.

Thank you so much, doctor!

It's been more than three weeks now.

I am so stupid.

I didn't tell Ashish about it

because after hearing this, he'll use it as an excuse

and nag me to leave Saurabh.

And how do I tell Saurabh?

There is no way that he can be a father of a child.

We didn't have sex for months.

Last night, Saurabh was in a bad mood.

And he was looking for a reason to pick a fight with me.

When he couldn't find a reason

he started arguing with me over his coffee mug

which slipped from my hand and broke last week.

It was the last thing I needed.

Sometimes I hate him.

He's such a crap.

I can't keep up this much longer.

Saurabh doesn't sleep anymore.

I don't know why?

He takes all these pills to help him sleep.

But they only make it worse.

He blames me for everything that went wrong in his life.

Maybe he's right.

Maybe it's my fault.

Screw it!

I will tell him everything about Ashish tomorrow.

Poor Saurabh.

He had so many dreams.

And he's also so talented.

I just wish

things had turned out better.

So that's it? You're going with him now.

You won't understand.

Just go from here. - I won't..

You said you love me.

You're embarrassing me.

Sahil, please go. - No, I won't.

Have you lost your mind? - I lost my mind, and you?

Speak softly, he'll hear you.

So what if he hears? Who does he think he is?

God! You're such an idiot!

What's going on?

Sir.. - Is that him?

Will you please shut up?

Sir, please let's go inside. Please.

Loser. - He'll go away.

Psycho! - Slut!

I didn't know he'll follow me all the way here.

He was following you?

What's wrong with you?

Just like you fell in the bathroom

this time I fell down.

I almost had a heart attack when the police called me.

Because you left your bloody t-shirt in my bedroom.

Under the bed.

I am sorry.

What if my wife had seen it?

Is she home?

Look, Sakshi..

I don't want you to misunderstand.

Are you mad?

It's just that I think too much.

And you said you'll be coming to the class today.

But you didn't. I called

but no one answered So I came here personally.

Actually, it's good that you came.

Will you do me a favor?

I need some medicines.

I am supposed to get a call

so I can't go out.

It's okay. - The medical store is close-by.

24/7.

Oh that!

I am quite frequent there. It's like my second home.

Thank you so much.

I'll be back.

Mr. Sharma, Inspector Negi speaking.

I just called to tell you

that we've taken Ashish into custody.

Okay! - We've arrested him from school.

We'll present him at the court tomorrow morning

but I guess he'll get bail.

Although, it's a standard procedure

but I thought I should inform you.

Did he say anything about Roshni?

Try to get some rest, Mr. Sharma.

We've lots of ground to cover tomorrow.

Okay, thank you very much.

Good night! - Good night.

Oh!

Thank you so much!

These medicines are quite expensive.

Must be strong. - Yeah!

They didn't accept your card.

Why not?

It's blocked.

Maybe your payment is due.

Sorry!

I'll pay you back.

It's okay.

Anyway, I paid it with my dad's card.

No, no, these medicines are quite expensive.
